Partner Ryan Baker, speaking to Law360 in a December 19, 2023 story about the top patent damage awards of 2023, said, “Every court was backlogged. I’ve had more trials than I’ve had in years past. There was a breakup of this logjam…”
Law 360 reported that there were a “striking” number of trials in the first six months of 2023 as “the COVID-19 bottleneck broke …”
When asked about the magnitude of 2023 patent verdicts, Baker wondered whether the numbers “this year [are] more in line with where things ought to be, because then you don’t have these humongous verdicts that then get relitigated for the next decade.”
